In other news, on the 3rd episode of Kimetsu no Yaiba: Yuukaku-hen (10th if you count from start of S2) was spotted (at 13th and 18th min of the episode), some new Yuki Kajiura bgm (she is co-composer). Eri Itoutwitted about it. Yuki Kajiura musician credits were shown at the end credits of the 1st Yuukaku-hen episode some weeks ago.
Meanwhile, the 2nd Limited Edition BD/DVD of Kimetsu no Yaiba: Yuukaku-hen with eps 3-4, set to release on March 30, 2022, will include Bonus CD with “Music Collection Film Scoring Edition” with no composer separation, so its possible it will have Yuki Kajiura music inside.
